Tislelizumab plus investigator-chosen chemotherapy (ICC) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival (OS) versus placebo plus ICC in RATIONALE-305 in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC) in the intent-to-treat population and in patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) Tumor Area Positivity (TAP) score ≥ 5%. The United States Food and Drug Administration Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee voted (September 2024) against first-line treatment with programmed cell death protein-1 inhibitors in this setting in patients with a PD-L1 combined positive score < 1 or TAP score < 1%, due to an unfavorable benefit-risk profile. Thus, we retrospectively analyzed data from RATIONALE-305 in patients with a PD-L1 TAP score ≥ 1%.
Adult patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative GC/GEJC were randomized to tislelizumab 200 mg or placebo with ICC every 3 weeks. Efficacy and safety outcomes of tislelizumab plus ICC versus placebo plus ICC were retrospectively assessed in those with a PD-L1 TAP score ≥ 1%.
At the final analysis cutoff (February 28, 2023), 432 patients received tislelizumab plus ICC and 453 received placebo plus ICC, and had a PD-L1 TAP score ≥ 1%. Clinically meaningful improvements to OS were observed with tislelizumab plus ICC compared with placebo plus ICC [15.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 13.3-16.7) vs. 12.8 months (95% CI 12.1-14.1), respectively; stratified hazard ratio 0.77 (95% CI 0.67-0.90)]. Progression-free survival, overall response rate, duration of response, and disease control rate, were also improved. OS improvements were maintained at a 3-year data cutoff (February 28, 2024). Tislelizumab plus ICC had an acceptable safety profile with no new safety signals.
Tislelizumab plus ICC is an effective and tolerable first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative GC/GEJC with a PD-L1 TAP score ≥ 1%.

在RATIONALE-305研究中,对于局部晚期不可切除或转移性人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)阴性胃癌/胃食管交界癌(GC/GEJC)患者,在意向性治疗人群以及程序性死亡配体1(PD-L1)肿瘤区域阳性(TAP)评分≥5%的患者中,替雷利珠单抗联合研究者选择的化疗(ICC)与安慰剂联合ICC相比,总生存期(OS)有统计学意义的改善。美国食品药品监督管理局肿瘤药物咨询委员会投票(2024年9月)反对在PD-L1联合阳性评分<1或TAP评分<1%的患者中使用程序性细胞死亡蛋白-1抑制剂进行一线治疗,因为其获益风险比不佳。因此,我们对RATIONALE-305研究中PD-L1 TAP评分≥1%的患者数据进行了回顾性分析。
局部晚期不可切除或转移性HER2阴性GC/GEJC成年患者被随机分为每3周接受200 mg替雷利珠单抗或安慰剂联合ICC治疗。对PD-L1 TAP评分≥1%的患者,回顾性评估替雷利珠单抗联合ICC与安慰剂联合ICC的疗效和安全性结果。
在最终分析截止日期(2023年2月28日),432例患者接受替雷利珠单抗联合ICC治疗,453例患者接受安慰剂联合ICC治疗,且PD-L1 TAP评分≥1%。与安慰剂联合ICC相比,替雷利珠单抗联合ICC观察到OS有具有临床意义的改善[分别为15.0个月(95%置信区间[CI] 13.3 - 16.7)和12.8个月(95% CI 12.1 - 14.1);分层风险比0.77(95% CI 0.67 - 0.90)]。无进展生存期、总缓解率、缓解持续时间和疾病控制率也有所改善。在3年数据截止日期(2024年2月28日)时,OS的改善得以维持。替雷利珠单抗联合ICC具有可接受的安全性,无新的安全信号。
对于局部晚期不可切除或转移性HER2阴性GC/GEJC且PD-L1 TAP评分≥1%的患者,替雷利珠单抗联合ICC是一种有效且可耐受的一线治疗方案。
